Ques on 1. (a) In Rutherford sca ering experiment, draw the trajectory traced by α-
par cles in the coulomb field of target nucleus and explain how this
led to es mate the size of the nucleus.
(b) Describe briefly how wave nature of moving electrons was
established experimentally.
(c) Es mate the ra o of de-Broglie wavelengths associated with
deuterons and α-par cles when they are accelerated from rest
through the same accelera ng poten al V.
OR
(a) Draw a ray diagram showing the image forma on by a compound
microscope. Obtain expression for total magnifica on when the
image is formed at infinity.
(b) How does the resolving power of a compound microscope get
affected, when
(i) focal length of the objec ve is decreased.
(ii) the wavelength of light is increased?
Give reasons to jus fy your answer.

Ques on 2. (a) Define a wavefront. How is it different from a ray?

(b) Depict the shape of a wavefront in each of the following cases.
(i) Light diverging from point source.
(ii) Light emerging out of a convex lens when a point source is
placed at its focus.
(iii) Using Huygen's construc on of secondary wavelets, draw a
diagram showing the passage of a plane wavefront from a
denser into a rarer medium.
OR
(a) Draw a schema c arrangement of Geiger-Marsden experiment
showing the sca ering of a-par cles by a thin foil of gold. Why is it
that most of the α-par cles go right through the foil and only a small
frac on gets sca ered at large angles?
Draw the trajectory of the a-par cle in the coulomb field of a nucleus.
What is the significance of impact parameter and what informa on
can be obtained regarding the size of the nucleus?
(b) Es mate the distance of closest approach to the nucleus (Z = 80) if a
7.7 MeV α-par cle before it comes momentarily to rest and reverses
its direc on.
Ques on 3. (a) Write two important limita ons of Rutherford model which could not
explain the observed features of atomic spectra. How were these
explained in Bohr's model of hydrogen atom? Use the Rydberg
formula to calculate the wavelength of the Ha line. (Take R = 1.1 × 107
m–1).
(b) Using Bohr's postulates, obtain the expression for the radius of the
nth orbit in hydrogen atom.
OR
(a) State Raoult's law for a solu on containing vola le components. How
does Raoult's law become a special case of Henry's law?
(b) 1.00 g of a non-electrolyte solute dissolved in 50 g of benzene lowered
the freezing point of benzene by 0.40 K. Find the molar mass of the
solute. (Kf for benzene = 5.12 K kg mol–1)

Ques on 4. (a) Define the following terms:

(i) Ideal solu on
(ii) Azeotrope
(iii) Osmo c pressure
(b) A solu on of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) in water is labelled as 10% by weight.
What would be the molality of the solu 3on? (Molar mass of glucose
= 180 g mol–1)
OR
(a) Why do transi on elements show variable oxida on states?
(i) name the elements showing maximum number of oxida on
states among the first series of trans on metals from Sc (Z = 21)
to Zn (Z=30)
(ii) Name the element which shows only +3 oxida on state
(b) What is lanthanide contrac on? Name an important alloy which
contains some of the lanthanoid metals.

Ques on 5. (a) Writhe the products formed when CH₃CHO reacts with the following
reagents:
(i) HCN
(ii) H₂N – OH
(iii) CH₃CHO in the presence of dilute NaOH
(b) Give simple chemical tests to dis nguish between the following Paris
of compounds.
(i) Benzoic acid and Phenol
(ii) Propanal and Propanone
OR
(a) What are emulsions? What are their different types? Give one
example of each type.
(b) Write the principle behind the froth floata on process. What is the
role of collectors in this process?
